WHO AM I?:
Over a decade of experience working as an animator on many different projects in film/VFX, games, cinematics, commercials, and music videos. I have experience working on both cartoony and realistic animation and have extensive motion capture experience.
I am open to freelance animation work, please get in touch for availability.
Specialties: I'm a creative problem solver who works fast and takes direction well. I love to generate and communicate creative ideas and I'm always ready to brainstorm and find the best possible solution. I have a good eye for detail and a strong knowledge of the principals of animation.
